Where the connections lead

Follow this verse’s cross-references two steps out. Each card is a verse this one points to, and beneath it the verses that one points to in turn. Where several different paths arrive at the same place, that place is listed first: the text keeps returning to it. Every stop shows its own words, and every stop is a page.

The gold bar shows how strongly the cross-reference sources tie the two verses together: a long bar means many compiled references make the connection, a short one means few.

Romans 12:3For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but think of yourself with sober judgment, according to the measure of faith God has given you.1 Peter 4:10As good stewards of the manifold grace of God, each of you should use whatever gift he has received to serve one another.1 Corinthians 12:7–11Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good.Ephesians 3:2Surely you have heard about the stewardship of God’s grace that was given to me for you,Romans 12:6–8We have different gifts according to the grace given us. If one’s gift is prophecy, let him use it in proportion to his faith;John 3:34For the One whom God has sent speaks the words of God, for God gives the Spirit without limit.1 Corinthians 12:28–30And in the church God has appointed first of all apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then workers of miracles, and those with gifts of healing, helping, administration, and various tongues.Ephesians 3:8Though I am less than the least of all the saints, this grace was given me: to preach to the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ,Matthew 25:15To one he gave five talents, to another two talents, and to another one talent—each according to his own ability.
